Perinephric Hematoma as a complication of Renal Biopsy in a Patient with IgA Nephropathy and Pre-existing Renal Dysfunction

Abstract

This case report discusses a 43-year-old male, a known case of Chronic Kidney disease, who developed significant complications after a renal biopsy which was performed to diagnose glomerular disease. The patient presented with severe left flank pain, which was later attributed to a large perinephric hematoma which is one of the expected complications in patients with low eGFR. The large perinephric hematoma necessitated intensive care, pain management, blood transfusions, and multidisciplinary action. This report highlights the challenges in managing post-biopsy complications in high-risk patients and underscores the importance of early recognition, vigilant monitoring, and a collaborative approach to care.
